On the face of it, it looks a lot like Australia’s compulsory voting law. But we are not Australia, and that law is still controversial over there, although apparently not enough people are inconvenienced by it to demand a repeal.

We should never concern ourselves with how many or how few vote. We should always concern ourselves with whether those that vote are informed about the candidates and the the issues. Low information voters gave us eight years of Obama. High information voters gave us Trump.

The Tyranny of commie liberals. They hate freedom and are constantly thinking of ways to take away ours. Conservatives don’t mandate behavior. They leave you free to fail or screw up but make you suffer the consequences. Commie liberals want to control you from cradle to grave.

I am so thrilled we have Trump and not Hitlery. Goes without saying, I know.

You can’t fine the dead, and you can’t collect from illegals.

The right to vote, not the obligation to vote.

It sure does seem that democrats side with tyranny more often then not. They seem to have a problem with personal freedom and liberty.

Another way for democrats to steal votes. All the lazy people will cast democrat votes, whether they want to or not.

“Let us take care of that for you, then you won’t be fined.”

Here is your choice of excuses:

I’m bat sh!t crazy. (No, not good enough)
I’m a felon, wanted for parole violation. (No, not good enough)
I got to go sell my food stamps for cash today. (No, not good enough)
I vote Republican. (Yup, you are excused. But pay the fine anyway.)

Since it came from a RAT, one would hope that those not really interested in voting who just wanted to save the ten bucks would vote for the other guys.
